I just bought a MT250.
I will be reading a lot of old posts.

My pink slip states year as 1973. The head tube date is 8/73.

The bike came stock with CR Aluminum rims, with the MT hubs .

Cool fun bike, although it is not a powerhouse.
Good thing I only weight 145lbs

The bike is in great shape, for not being restored.
A few things changed, the pipe and levers.
Everything else seems stock. I have the stock pipe.
Always garaged.
I bought it to ride to work and run around town. Take it out trail riding maybe.

My other bike is a Harley.
I forgot how cool a 2 cycle sounds.
Have a look.

Good looking scoot! I dont think the ol'MR had seen a garage since the early 80's.

Just a guess but the finish/shape of those rims/hubs look like they can be from a 250XL or 350XL.
